Strawberry Season

We only live a few minutes from a strawberry farm. You can either pick your own or for a few weeks a year they have a cart by the side of the road where you can buy them by the container. Each year I make a version of strawberry shortcake for my work, this year because I have a cup cake pan I made strawberries and cream cup cakes!

Cup Cake Recipe (yellow cake)

1 12 cups plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 200C

Cream butter and sugar in bowl. Add in eggs & vanilla until mixed. Mix in remaining dry ingredients and milk.

Spoon into cup cake pan only filling the cases 3/4's full.

Bake for 15 minutes

Once cool, using 1 container of double cream - blend with a few tbs of sugar for 5 minutes on maximum speed.

Spread whipped cream onto cup cakes. Add strawberries!
